Rewind on Sirius 159

Neil Young

Today, Rewind celebrates one of Canada's greatest singer/songwriters. He's a man who's received multiple Juno and Grammy awards as well as the Governor General's Performing Arts Award. He's an officer of the Order of Canada; he's been nominated for an academy award, and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of fame - twice. 

He's released more than 30 albums, he's been touring for over 40 years and reminds us that it's better to burn out than to fade away because rust never sleeps.

He's Neil Young.

Up until ten years ago, September eleventh was just another date. But over the past decade, of course, it's taken on a whole world of meaning. September 11th is used as a kind of shorthand for everything from religious violence to a massive failure of global security. And the space where the World Trade Centre stood until that day has widely become known as Sacred Ground.

In 2010, the CBC Radio program Tapestry decided to explore the idea of Sacred Ground, in a two part series. The series first aired in December of 2010 and a year later, it was recognized with a Wilbur Award.
